Mich. (WNEM) – Plans are advancing to transform the former Rite Aid property at the corner of Michigan and Genesee in Saginaw into a new healthcare facility
Covenant HealthCare and the Saginaw County Health Department have entered into a development agreement to create community-focused health sites that will expand access to urgent care, primary care, and public health services
Planning and development is still ongoing
The project would be the future home for the Saginaw County Health Department, allowing the organization to move from its current Michigan Avenue facility into a modern, accessible space
Covenant said the development is an opportunity to expand access to care through an additional location that complements an existing network of services near the main hospital campus
“Covenant HealthCare is committed to delivering extraordinary access to medical care for our local community and the region,” said Beth Charlton, President and CEO of Covenant HealthCare. “This project represents an important investment in the future of healthcare in Saginaw. By working with partners such as the Saginaw County Health Department, we can expand services, improve access, and better meet the evolving needs of those we serve.”
Current locations and services for both organizations will not change during the planning and development process
“It’s all about expanding access to essential health services,” said Christina Harrington, Chief Health Officer for the Saginaw County Health Department. “This partnership creates an opportunity to bring public health reost while strengthening the network of care available within the Medical Diamond and across our community.”
Additional details including services, timelines, and facility plans will be shared in the future
